Tightening Up for the Holidays
Even though I’m in Germany doesn’t mean I haven’t done a bunch of work. Mind you, I haven’t done my durn podcasts. GOT to do that tomorrow. But I did make a few updates on some websites, including some Celtic wedding websites. I also added new lyrics to my Irish Songs & Lyrics website. That’s […]
Two Germany Gigs Booked
Alrighty, I think I’m all packed and ready to go… or as ready as I’ll ever be. I finally found a way to pack my recording gear. Not sure it’s the best way to do it, but I’ll hope the airline doesn’t just toss the duffle around. Handle with care, please. Ok. Took out that […]
Celtic Knot Autoharp String Pendant Survey

New MP3 – Auld Lang Syne
It’s New Years Eve. I’ve wanted to record “Auld Lang Syne” for years now. It’s just a beautiful song.

Rediscovering My Musical Heritage
I was not raised on Celtic music. I heard a little bit of bagpipes growing up when my dad took me to some Highland Games like those at Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. But that was about it. When I was a kid, my dad’s recreation involved playing folk music in the folk scene of […]
